One of the main features of the 2478CE is its impressive heating capacity. It can produce up to 75,000 BTUs, making it capable of warming spaces of up to 2,500 square feet. This robust output ensures that your home remains cozy even on the coldest winter nights, allowing for a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The stove is constructed from high-quality cast iron, which not only adds to its durability but also allows for superior heat retention. This means that the stove will continue to emit warmth long after the fire has burned down, providing extended comfort without the need for constant refueling.

As a result, the stove achieves an impressive efficiency rating of up to 82%.

Another notable characteristic of the Vermont Castings 2478CE is its traditional design, complete with intricate detailing and a large firebox. The firebox is designed to accommodate larger logs, allowing for longer burn times and reduced frequency of refueling. Additionally, the stove is available in various finishes to match any home decor style, from classic black to vibrant enamel colors.

For those looking to enhance their hearth experience, the 2478CE can be paired with a variety of optional accessories, such as a classic heat shield or a blower, further improving its performance and efficiency.
